\"Ways<\/a>

You know you respect me… How is it possible not to, afterall, I’m a cat…<\/p><\/div>\n

Zoey here. Here we go again with another one of those human invented days on behalf of us kitties. Respect Your Cat Day. *Sigh* While we do appreciate the thought, do I really need to point out the obvious? You know, like everyday should be Respect Your Cat Day, or Hug Your Cat Day, or Love Your Cat Day, or Appreciate Your Cat Day. Let’s face it. Since you’re reading this blog, I know you’re a cat lover. And I also know you know there is no room for debate. Us cats rule not only the world, but we rule your hearts, your bed, your furniture, and just about every and anything else you can think of. Of course you respect us, how could you not?<\/p>\n

But, I suppose perhaps the day has deeper meaning – like respecting us enough to make sure we are spayed or neutered, or that we have foods that are healthy and nutritious for us, or that you provide us with lots of toys and interactive playtime to keep us happy. Or even, shudder, that you take us to the vet to make sure everything is okay with us.<\/p>\n

Or on an even deeper level, much as I can’t fathom this, I mean look at us, we’re creatures that have\u00a0been idolized\u00a0for thousands of years,\u00a0but there are actually some people that don’t like cats. Some even go so far as hating us so much they want to harm us. I guess it’s specially designated days like these that we can use to help educate the world that we are living beings that deserve to be treated with respect, even if you don’t care for us.<\/p>\n

\"respecting<\/a>

We believe in respecting all living creatures – all day, everyday. Thank you to our dear Zee for being such a wise and noble model for this fitting quote.<\/p><\/div>\n

Have a great day everyone – and lets try to make it one where we extend just tiniest bit more love, respect, understanding, and empathy to those around us. I know it’s Monday and that can kind of make us grumpy, but even a smile or kind word can go a long way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
